While waiting for Song Yang, Gongsun Sheng clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, considering the current attitude of the officials towards our country of Qi, the situation has been stabilized. Have you transferred brother Zhu Wu back? There have been more and more things going on in the military department recently, and we really need him." help!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he nodded, "It's time to transfer him back, but Daming Mansion is now the most important government in our Qi State, connecting the north and the south. Do you have any good candidates for the successor to the governor?"
"I have discussed with the Department of Husbandry and the Department of Punishment, and plan to appoint You Ziqi, the magistrate of Zizhou, as the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, and lead the state of Qi to participate in political affairs," Gongsun Sheng said.
"Youziqi" Song Jiang's eyes moved and he nodded: "He is indeed very good. After the Battle of Jinan Prefecture, he was the first to transport a large amount of grain, grass and materials. He is a calm and solid man, with clear rewards and punishments. He can be of great use."
"Your Majesty is wise, if the only shortcoming of You Ziqi is that his qualifications are somewhat insufficient!!"
"What the right minister means is that he has never been to Liangshan, so he has to worry about his loyalty," Song Jiang said with a smile.
"Exactly"
When Song Jiang heard this, he said seriously: "I have long said that Liangshan is not a faction, and Pengju has never been to Liangshan, but now he controls almost half of the cavalry in our Qi State and is responsible for the formation of eight thousand cavalry. Fang Zongbi now follows Lu Zhishen, commanding the Zuowuwei army, within half a month, captured Puzhou and Xingren Prefecture for our Qi State, making our Qi State's territory connected with the great names in the north and Yingtian in the south. He won the admiration and admiration of the generals. Appreciation, as well as Wenyao, Huizhi, Shaoyang and others, are not actually direct descendants of Liangshan. In our country of Qi, as long as there is talent, regardless of past or origin, I will definitely use it!!"
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he admired him and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Zizhou was rearranged by the officials and ordered You Ziqi to come to Jingdong Prefecture immediately," Song Jiang said.
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Weining has arrived."
"Let brother come in," Song Jiang said with a smile.
"yes!!"
"Your Majesty, I will leave first," Gongsun Sheng said.
"good!!"
Soon, Song Yang, dressed in battle armor, came to Song Jiang.
"I pay homage to your Majesty," Song Yang said respectfully. Although he was Song Jiang's eldest son, both Liangshan and Qi were conquered by Song Jiang single-handedly. Both Song Qing and his father, Song Taigong, both I have repeatedly said that Song Jiang is the most disciplined person. Although they are brothers, they are also monarchs and ministers and cannot be offended.
Today, Song Yang is not only the Marquis of Qi State, but also the general of Jingdong Prefecture's Huxiao Army, leading two thousand soldiers and horses.
"Haha, brother, there is no need to be polite, we are all one family, come and have a seat," Song Jiang said warmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"I asked my brother to come here today because I have something to give him!!"
"Please give me your orders, Your Majesty"
"Brother, take a look." Song Jiang handed the secret letter sent by Wu Yong directly to Song Yang.
Song Yang took it and looked at it curiously, then suddenly looked surprised.
"How about my brother becoming the first important official to take charge of the imperial court of our Qi Kingdom?" Song Jiang said with a smile.
When Song Yang heard this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Song family, it is natural that I have a duty to do with the great cause of Qi State. However, this matter is of great importance. I am afraid that if I do not do it well, it will delay our great cause of Qi State!!"
"Haha, as long as my brother is willing to do it, he can definitely do it well. During the battle with the imperial court, didn't he take the lead and kill dozens of people!!"
"Brother, don't worry. I'm not letting you deal with it alone. I will arrange for someone to help you. Just remember one thing when you go there this time!!"
"Please show me your Majesty"
"Follow in the footsteps of the official family, do whatever the official family says. This time you go there. The official family is extremely dissatisfied with Zhongshu's group of people. At the same time, you can have a good relationship with the prince. That's enough!! "
When Song Yang heard this, he was a little confused and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to your fourth brother? After all, he is much more qualified than me??"
Song Jiang smiled slightly, "Brother is my eldest son. I will be happier if you go to the official family. Although the other four brothers are smooth, they are a bit weak-tempered. There is no one else but my brother!!"
Song Yang was stunned for a moment, and after a slight silence, he immediately clasped his fists seriously and said, "I wish to go."
"Okay" Song Jiang nodded happily.
. . . .
The next day, at Song Taigong's residence, Song Taigong was now canonized as Duke of Qi and granted the title of Taibao because of Song Jiang. Song Jiang's late mother, Chen, was posthumously named Lord of Jize County and Mrs. Tai of Qi.
Looking at Song Yang who was summoned, Song Taigong said seriously: "I have already asked the right minister about going to Bianjing. This is a big responsibility. It is related to whether your brother can be in charge of the court in the future. It is also related to me." Can the Song family take a step further? So when you go, you must be careful and don’t be fooled by the splendor and wealth of the imperial capital!!"
"You must always remember that the power and position obtained in the imperial capital are all fake. It was your brother, the King of Qi, who helped you win it. Only the State of Qi is the foundation!!"
"I understand!!"
"I heard that the third child is also in the imperial capital now. Tell him that things are about the same and ask him to come over quickly. By the way, the third child's daughter-in-law is now the princess of a country, so you must respect her!!"
"yes!!"
"Your wife and children will not pass away for the time being, but please listen to me. Xiuxiu is the only daughter-in-law I recognize. She is the Lady of Qi State who has long been recorded in my Song family tree and among the golden spies in the harem. She is in When you were in the most difficult time, you chose to marry a down-and-out person, and even gave birth to a son for you. Our Song family will never let you down. If you have other ideas, wait until I am dead!!" Song Taigong said seriously .
Song Yang was shocked and said quickly: "I don't dare, I only have Xiuxiu in my heart!!"
Song Taigong looked at it and smiled and said: "That's good. In this regard, you three are actually better than Sanlang. You are both fathers and dedicated people. But Sanlang is different after all. She is the king. Spread more branches and leaves, so that our country of Qi can be prosperous and prosperous."
"Father is wise!!"
"I'm going out in a few days," Song Taigong suddenly said with a hint of nostalgia.
"Father, do you want it??"
"I plan to go back to Songjia Village to worship my ancestors, and also to visit your mother!!"
When Song Yang heard this, he immediately said: "Father, I will accompany you!!"
"No need, now that our Song family has become a royal family, except for Sanlang, all three of you are also promising. As a father, I have nothing to worry about. Everything is focused on the great cause. As a father, I can go back and take a look alone!! Song Taigong said happily.
"This..." Song Yang frowned.
The next day, Song Taigong looked at Song Jiang who was supporting him and said in confusion: "Sanlang, where are you taking me? It looks like I'm leaving the palace??"
"Father, you'll know when you get there," Song Jiang said with a smile.
When the two of them walked out of the palace gate, they saw Song Yang, Song Qing, Xu Youzhu, and a beautiful, dignified and decent woman waiting for them. The woman was Song Yang's wife Su Xiuxiu. Holding a little boy over one year old, it was Song Yu, son of Song Yang, the real first grandson of the Song family.
At this time, a king drove around, and thousands of personal guards were ready to set off.
"Meet the Duke!!" the bodyguard shouted.
"Father, the king has said that we three brothers will accompany you back to your hometown to worship our ancestors." Song Yang stepped forward and said.
"Father, my wife's health is really afraid of delaying my father's schedule, so I can only let my sister-in-law take my place." Xu Youzhu, who was pregnant with his belly, said with shame.
"This, this..." Tears welled up in Song Taigong's eyes. He looked at Song Jiang and said, "Sanlang, will this delay the important events of my country in Qi?"
"Father, don't worry. My eldest brother can go directly from my hometown to the imperial capital. It won't waste much time. In addition, since our Song family has made great achievements, we should also pay homage to our ancestors and protect our country of Qi's everlasting prosperity."
"Yes! Father, we also want to go back to the old house of the Song family to see it," Song Qing also said.
"Okay, okay!!" After Song Taigong glanced at the three sons in front of him with emotion, he immediately looked at Song Yu and said lovingly: "Yu'er, can you take a car with your grandfather later?"
After hearing this, Song Yu nodded obediently.
Song Taigong suddenly laughed, then looked at Xu Youzhu and said with concern: "The queen should pay more attention to her health. In addition, there are two princesses in the palace who are also pregnant, so be careful. As for returning to your hometown to worship your ancestors this time, don't worry about it. There are so many opportunities!!”
"Yes, Father!!"
"Then let's go!!" After Song Jiang said, he looked at Gongsun Sheng, Pei Xuan and other civil and military officials beside him: "When I am not here, I will trouble all the ministers."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty"
"Okay." After Song Jiang said, he personally helped Song Taigong get on to Wang Chu, Su Xiuxiu got on the carriage behind, and Song Yang and Song Hai got on the war horses directly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Su shouted: "Let's go!!"
